I'd avoid WTFPL if you are serious about this as an open source project.

Google publishes their internal open source policy[1], i.e., what open source licenses can be used in Google software. I think it is a solid reference for what a good corporate open source policy is. It explains the reasoning, it isn't some crazy enterprise things that bans all open source (I've seen that), and it isn't some free-wheeling startup that allows everything with no scrutiny.

They ban the use of WTFPL code[2], and ban contributions to WTFPL code.
